The mayor and his Toronto councilor brother, Doug, who consistently portray themselves as “regular folks” to voters, are believed to be worth millions from their company, Deco Labels, which they inherited from their father. Their exact worth is unknown, given that Deco is a privately-owned company, but the Fords also own multiple properties in Toronto and Muskoka and the company has revenue estimated in the tens of millions.

Ford also discussed a current spat with Kathleen Wynne over a request for a meeting over ice storm cleanup funding, with Ford saying he’d settle for a phone call from the premier or even a text.

“We’re just trying to negotiate some funding from the province to deal with this ice storm,” said the mayor. “We need like $171-million.”

“It’s pretty hard to get funding when you can’t get a meeting set up,” said Ford. “She’s a liberal and I’m a conservative and that’s what it comes to.”

He also said that Wynne thinks she’s offending him, but she’s only hurting the taxpayers.

On Wednesday, Wynne said she doesn’t have a political grudge against Ford despite turning down his meeting request.

She is expected to meet with deputy mayor Norm Kelly, who received most of the mayor’s responsibilities when he was stripped of much of his power in November. Ford told the hosts that Wynne will meet with Kelly because he’s also a Liberal.

“I love the job and I love the people and the people are the ones that keep me going,” said the Mayor. “I just can’t wait for Oct. 27, that’s the day of redemption, as they would say.”

The Sports Junkies hosts also discussed the Mayor’s invitation to them to visit Toronto, saying they wanted to go to the place where Ford had “all the hotties on his arm.”

Mr. Ford publicly vowed to stop drinking alcohol late last year as the crack video scandal engulfing his office hit a fever pitch — and none of the photos of the mayor posted online suggested he had broken the vow.

Ford answered: “We’ll go to Muzik, no problem.”

Last week, Ford told the show that Ottawa should consider decriminalizing marijuana.

“I’ve questioned that too sometimes why wouldn’t [the Conservatives] at least decriminalize it and try to get revenue from it,” Ford said when prompted by the show’s hosts about marijuana laws.

“That probably won’t happen up here because we have a Conservative government,” the mayor said. “They’re very strict when it comes to marijuana and any other drugs — so it’s not going to happen here.
